Collagen: all the rage im regards to our vanity.
One of the most abundant structural proteins in our bodies, helping to give us structure, strength and elasticity. From our skin, hair, nails, bones and even blood vessels, it's mighty valuable.
As we age, collagen naturally declines, but there are other factors that can inhibit synthesis and degrade it aka like sun exposure, smoking, poor nutrition, chronic stress and even heavy metals.
Aluminum is heavy metal, an element we do not need to function and has been shown to inhibit collagen synthesis by interfering with enzymes that build collagen like lysl oxidase as well as nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and vitamin c.
It has an affinity to accumulating in the connective tissues and bones overtime as a result of how it affects specific vitamins and minerals. Aluminum has also been correlated to low-grade inflammation to degrade collagen faster.

You know you're on the right page when a coach says "Girl, take out your wand and push"
While this is a new up and coming idea, the concept of or****ic births have been around for a while- just not with toys.
Stimulating the cl!t while in labor can help to ease the pain of contractions and help to increase to output of hormones such as oxytocin to relax the body and secrete endorphins similar to euphoria.
Not saying everyone can do this, but you know, maybe pack your hospital bag with a toy and see where it takes you.

WILL COPPER PEPTIDES FURTHER YOUR COPPER TOXICITY?
Probably not. And here’s why:
Peptides are chains of amino acids, and by definition, the building blocks of proteins. These are used and influence the body in a way to act as signaling molecules. Signaling molecules are what tell a cell what to do, which is very important to remark here because if we can send a specific signal, it can condition cells to act a certain way, very similar to hormones.
Ex: Ozempic, is a peptide that signals to the body to reduce appetite. The way it works is that because it is a peptide that acts similar to the hormone glucagon.
Copper peptides, also known as GHK copper, is a tripeptide aka is has 3 amino acids: Glycine Histidine Lysine that are attached to a copper ion. We make copper peptides inside of us, but as we age, this process degenerates, hence why as we get older, we develop symptoms of what look like low copper levels or synthesis such as loose skin, hair loss, hyperpigmentation, grey hair, loss of collagen, etc.
Copper ions on the other hand are a positively charged form of the copper element and are important for various biological processes, including enzyme function, collagen and elastin production, and wound healing. That being said, a copper ion by itself isn’t considered bioavailable, for copper must be bound to proteins in order for the body to use it properly and more effectively. If it is not attached to a protein, the body cannot utilize it, and copper can act similarly to a metal in that case.
Using copper peptides is NOT going to fix or regulate the copper toxicity or dysregulation one has.
It is a useful tool for those that are in a constant state of copper toxicity and/or loss which can help them utilize copper ions better and condition the cell in accordance to what copper is meant to do.
At its core, copper toxicity is a liver and adrenal issue, so focusing on those long term will help you MAKE your own copper peptides down the line.

Every year I feel like I learn a little more about myself through myself, but this year, I learned more about myself through someone else.
I'd like to think I'm more self aware than the average person. I remember sitting in my therapists office at 13, arguing with her on whether I needed counselling, regurgitating all of her points back to her to show her I was LISTENING but just wasn't responding to her skills. She'd go "You know what's wrong with you" and I'd reply "And you're too useless to fix me".
Not once in my life did I ever expect someone else to do the work for me, to give me the magic wand on curing my pain, taking the hurt away, and suddenly become normal. But the desire to want to be okay again... it wasn't reaching rock bottom that did it. Embarrassingly enough, it was realizing that no one would ever want me if I didn't want to save myself.
Life, in my opinion, is all about synchronicities, patterns, karmic lessons and the magic of connections between people, experiences, and things that get you closer to who and what you're meant to become.
A man I deeply fell in love with once told me "I began believing in God again because of you. You keep coming back to help like a fu***ng angel".
At the time, I was blinded by the infatuation and desire to want him, and refused to let those words sink in and dissect what they meant. It's only recently did I realize he meant I was self sacrificing myself to save others, time and time again so they could avoid facing their own demons.
Helping him did not make me more desirable, all it did was make me more available.
I've done everything you can think of that would make this year a "bad" year. I've lied, I've done drugs, I've relapsed, I broke my sobriety, I visited jail, I laughed while crying and I honestly would not have changed it for anything.
Why?
Because it brought me to the brink in realizing people will not love you until you love yourself first.
So while this year I was shown how little I let myself receive love, next year will be the year I learn to foster it, because healing will only happen when we actually believe we not only deserve it, but believe we already have it.
Happy New Year✨

I am not the type to start drama, but I AM the type to like a little of it.
Please swipe through rhe whole thing, I don't need to add more context here regarding how PMDD, autism, ADHD, IBS, MCAS, POTS, Ehlers danlos, endometriosis, anxiety, depression and autoimmunity are all related.
Im tired to people throwing around diagnoses like we finally figured out what's wrong with you. We didn't. We just sectioned you into a category with a cluster of symptoms. Congratulations, you have a label now. Why are we scaring women into thinking they can have several? Or even worse, encourage them, because then they'll "finally know what's wrong"
Sweetie, you won't know s**t.
Do yourself a favor, and start here:
What are my symptoms
When did they start
Where do I experience them
Why are they happening
How can I fix it
You figure that out, you're golden.
And working with me will get you there.

The ratio between sodium and potassium- how important is it, and how PRECISE must it be for optimal health?
Okay let’s get science-y. Let’s go all the way back to high school science class. Potassium has 19 protons, 19 electrons and 20 neutrons. Sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons and 12 neutrons. Meaning sodium is almost half the volume size of potassium yet both have a +1 charge, thus they react to other elements very similarly. Therefore, can replace each other’s functions if there is too much sodium or too much potassium, which will DIRECTLY influence the nervous system differently because of their different energies.
Example: You can fit 2 sodium ions in the same place where one would have 1 potassium ion, which would directly change the ratio to a 2:1.
What does this mean? That the ratio of sodium to potassium would increase, as well as the total positive electric charge of the nervous system by double. This is why high sodium to potassium ratios make people feel anxious, irritable, inflamed, hot, and maybe even angry or shot tempered. On the reverse, too much potassium can soothe and sensitize us, which can calm and deflate a system, but too low a na:k ratio can cause symptoms of depression, fatigue, and over sensitivity.
The exact definition of the na:k ratio is that it is measuring the electrical potential between cells. Sodium pumps out of the cell, potassium pumps in, causing an electrical charge. This helps things get IN a cell and get OUT.
